2018-2019学年高二英语人教版寒假作业：第二天（含答案）第二天单句语法填空1、We’ve been looking at the houses but haven’t found__________ we like yet.2、He is a very serious man. He __________(rare) smiles.3、I can tell__________ his accent that he is from the south.4、I often__________(agree) with him about what we ought to do,but we still get along quite well.5、Great changes __________(take) place in our school in the past two years.阅读理解6、Recent studies have shown that challenging your brain, by spurring (刺激) the brain to create new patterns, is very important to keep your brain active and healthy as you age. Lifelong learning is a health club for our minds, bodies and spirits. This is why we parents should also teach our children to be lifelong learners. Dr. Marilyn Price-Mitchell, an American psychologist, and youth development expert, shares some ways for us to do this.1.Ask questions.When your child asks you a question, don't answer it straight away. Instead, help him or her bring up “questions that pique their curiosity.”This way, we help children make connections between what they're learning at school and the world beyond their classroom. We also show them that learning does not, and should not, end when o ne is “done with school”—it's actuallya lifelong process!2. Let them fail.Our kids love learning about different scientific concepts (概念) via The Magic School Bus videos on YouTube. And one of the characters, Miss Frizzle (the science teacher) always says this phrase: “Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.”I always quote (引述) her when the kids say they're afraid to do or learn something because they might do it wrong or make a mistake. If we don't allow our kids to fail, they won't be able to lear n to “use mistakes and failures to make lifelong learning easier,”as Dr. Price-Mitchell says.3. Learn through experience.This is very true for all of us, especially children. In the words of Dr. Price-Mitchell, “Learning through experience, not just from books, is one of the best ways to give the youth the skills they need for lifelong learning, living, and working in the 21st century.”Of course, we should also set an example for our children —by learning continuously, and expanding our knowledge and experiences.1.What does the underlined word “pique”in the text probably mean?A.Change.B.Awaken.C.Balance.D.Prevent.2.What's the author's attitude to what Miss Frizzle always says?A.Worried.B.Doubtful.C.Uncaring.D.Supportive.3.Which of the following shows the importance of learning through experience?A.Learning is not child's play; we cannot learn without pain.B.It is not that I'm so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer.C.If you don't learn to think when you are young, you may never learn.D.Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.4.In which part of a newspaper will the text most probably appear?A.Health.B.Culture./doc/179846839.htmlcation.D.Popular science.7、The history of vacuum cleaners (真空吸尘器) in the U. K. dates back to the early 1900s. Hubert Cecil Booth started the first vacuum cleaner company in the U. K. , known as the British Vacuum Cleaner Company. It wasn’t long, however, before William Henry Hoover, who had already experienced success with his vacuum cleaners in America, made headway in the vacuum cleaner market in the U. K. and became more successful than Booth.Hoover’s vacuum cleaners in the U. K. became such a success that “to hoover”quickly became equal to vacu uming. Some of the earliest domestic vacuum cleaners in the U. K. used simple reusable cloth bag designs whereby the vacuum cleaner simply collected dust in the bag. Once the bag was full, you could empty and re-attach it to the vacuum cleaner.For decades after their introduction, vacuum cleaners in the U. K. were a luxury item that only the upper class could afford. After World War Ⅱ, however, they became common among the middle class. This was especially true for vacuum cleaners in the U. K. , because the popularity of carpets means sweeping is not an easy or effective means of carpet cleaning.In 1952, Hoover made the Constellation available to the public for the first time. Hoover designed it so that people could place the vacuum cleaner in the center of the room and then work around it. After about 20 years of selling these vacuum cleaners in the U. K. , Hoover stopped the Constellation in 1975.Advances to upright and cylinder vacuum cleaners in the U. K. continued, enabling vacuum cleaners to become more efficient and effective. The 1990s saw the introduction of the first bagless domestic vacuum cleaners in the U. K. Despite the fears that consumers would not be prepared to accept the high price, bagless vacuum cleaners became a big success in the U. K.As for the future, vacuum cleaners in the U. K. are expected to become even more energy-efficient.1.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A.Hoover entered the U. K. vacuum cleaner market before the 1900s.B.Hoover's vacuum cleaners were more advanced than Booth's.C.Hoover's vacuum cleaners were very popular in the U. K. market.D.Vacuum cleaners were invented later in the U. K. than in America.2.What was the cloth bag on the earliest domestic vacuum cleaners used for?A.Decorating the vacuum cleaners.B.Making the vacuum cleaners moreefficient.C.Lightening the vacuum cleaners.D.Collecting dust.3.What was the most remarkable characteristic of the Constellation?A.It was only used by the upper class.B.Its design allowed the user to work around it.C.It was upright and it had a cylinder added to it.D.Its price was extremely high at the time.4.We can learn from the passage that bagless vacuum cleaners _____.A.were so popular that they could fulfill all U. K. customers' demandsB.were the most energy-efficient vacuum cleanersC.were not accepted by U. K. customersD.were expensive when they made their first public appearance in the U. K. 完形填空8、It happened to Susan Black in a cold winter. Everything seemed ina 1 those days. Both her parents suffering from depression,sending fora 2 became a common practice. As a woman in her 40s,it wasa 3 job to be a teacher of 30 first-graders, who were always 4 ,and she’d tried all sorts of methods, but 5 to get them quiet in class...Misfortunes were 6 one after another. After a long and tiring day at work, Susan dragged herself along, 7 towards the parking lot.

Susan stopped weeping and explained her situation, adding that 11 she called her husband, he wouldn’t bring her the spare car key,since he was working at the 12 end of the town and it was still not time to 13 the day’s work. “Call your 14 and tell him I’m coming to get the key,’’the young man handed Susan his phone. “But that’s a nine miles’round trip...”said Susan. “There’s no time for 15 I’ll be back as soon as possible.”Two hours later, the motor rider returned with a big smile and 16 face,key in hand.

2018-2019学年高二年级寒假作业英语学科（第十五期）完成时间：2019年2月17日（正月十三）星期日班级学号_______ 学生姓名__________ 家长签字________第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，共20分）阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AThe human beings seem to be facing a crisis (危机). After our best Go players were defeated one by one by the artificial intelligence (AI) AlphaGo, we lost our pride of being at the top of the intelligence chain. And in October, when Saudi Arabia gave citizenship to a robot named Sophia, another privilege of being human was taken away. It looks like everything that separates humans and AI is at risk right now.But we keep hoping that instead of “everything”, there’s still something left in us that makes us irreplaceable.To Hao Jingfang, winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Novele tte, that “something” is our consciousness. “AlphaGo is intelligent in a certain way, but not intelligent enough to ask the important questions —— Do I like playing Go? Do I want to play Go today? Why do I have to play Go when you tell me to?” she once said. In other words, computer programs don’t have a choice to say “no”. They probably don’t even know what a “choice” is —— all they ever do is calculate.And to He Huaihong, a philosophy (哲学) professor at Peking University, imagination and creativity are also what make us special. “A machine couldn’t have come up with the theory of gravity just because it was hit by a falling apple”, he said. “It’s human im agination that connects what seem to be completely random and irrelevant concepts, something that a machine——which works by fixed rules only——can't do, at least for now.”This is why BBC reporter Viktor Mayer-Schonberger suggested that instead of focusing on how computers have overshadowed us on calculating abilities than humans, we should probably “co nsider our quality at a different end of the spectrum (光谱)：creativity, originality (原创性), even plain illogical craziness, instead of hard-nosed (顽固的) logic”, he wrote.So maybe in the future, as artificial intelligence becomes even more intelligent, humans and A1 will learn to use each other’s talents for good. If AI can handle the boring tasks like calculating and driving for us, we’ll have more time to create, think, and be busy with “being human”.29. What can we learn about AlphaGo, according to Hao Jingfang?A. It will be taught to say no in the future.B. It will be more intelligent than humans one day.C. It has difficulty answering personal questions.D. It is unable to think independently as humans do.30. What does He Huaihong believe is unique to humans?A. Intelligence.B. Originality.C. The ability to make rules.D. The ability to make choices.31. What does the underlined word “overshadowed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Competed withB. Taken control ofC. Been more successful thanD. Influenced32. What could be the future of AI according to the author?A. It will be used to help humans, rather than compete with us.B. It may develop creativity besides better logical thinking.C. It might be very dangerous to humans in different fields.D. It will be applied to provide driving service for humans.BShortly after my fourth birthday, my parents and I arrived from China in Sydney, Australia. It was 1991 and my mother had left behind everything she knew——family, friends and career.Yet within two years, my parents’ marriage had broken down. After one particularly unpleasant fight, my mother left my father, taking me with her. With no family or friends, and in a country where she couldn’t even communicate, she took me to Chinatown, the only area of Sydney she was familiar with. That night she laid me on a bench in Dixon Street, packing suitcases around us for security(安全). I will never forget the despair in her face that night.At around 4 a.m., a group of four young Chinese men noisily exited a club nearby. I remember them falling silent as they saw us. They approached and asked my mother why she was sleeping on the streets with such a young child. My mum burst into tears as she told them our story. Without hesitating, they warmed me up, took our suitcases, and drove us to their students housing.In the weeks that followed, the men looked after us with a youthful enthusiasm. Being poor students living on their own for the first time, they simply knew how to cook in a stupid way. However, they insisted that a child should have homemade meals. They quickly adjusted their lives around us, buying fresh food, cooking, teasing me to make me laugh, and advising my mum on how to sort out her life.Eventually, Mum reconciled (和解) with Dad and we moved back in with him, although they continued to split and make up several times.Gradually we lost touch with the men as we all moved on. But at every milestone of my life——graduations, entering university, getting a good job——I never forget that all of this was made possible because 22 years ago, a group of complete strangers took us in and shared everything they had to save us from life on the street.33. Why did Mom and I stay in Dixon Street that night?A. We were waiting for the Chinese men.B. Mom was unfamiliar with Australia at all.C. It was safe to stay there for night.D. We had no other place to go.34. How did the students feel the moment they saw us in the street?A. Ashamed.B. Shocked.C. Amused.D. Nervous.35. What message is conveyed in the passage?A. There is no perfect husband or wife in marriage.B. It’s the timely help to someone in need that matters.C. It’s a great challenge for the Chinese to study abroad.D. Childhood memory contributes to guiding present behavior.第二节完形填空（共20小题；每题1分，满分20分）阅读下面一篇短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren't there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree.On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can deal with, and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old gap that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen.The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life equally with a college degree. Parents begin indoctrinating (灌输) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn't matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollments (入学) go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them.One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.1.It's implied but not stated in the passage that ________ .A.many other countries are facing the same problemB.white-collar workers in the US used to make more money than blue-collar workers。

There are some places that have few or no earthquakes. Most places in the world,however,have them regularly (有规律地)).Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous.The earthquake which was talked about most in the United States was in San Francisco in 1906. Over 700 people died in it. The strongest one in North America was in 1964. It happened in Alaska.Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people. In 1755,one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal. Around 2,000 people died.In 1923,a very strong earthquake hit Tokyo,the Yo-kohama area of Japan. One hundred and forty thousand people died. Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake.One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in 1976. It killed a large numberof people.The worst earthquake ever recorded was also in China, in which about 80,000 people were killed or injured. This earthquake happened in 2008.Earthquakes worry people a lot. The reason is that we often do not know when they are coming.

The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are.There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple (枫树) makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fal l and note the poplars’ (杨树) putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter.

In such circumstances, people may tend to feel guilty about paying attention to their personal happiness, especially if others seem less happy than they are.②__________The Oxford English Dictionary describes selfishness as “the quality or state of being selfish; lack of consideration for other people”. This suggests that selfish people are mainly concerned with their own personal gain and pleasure. Yet the science of happiness shows that these characteristics are not generally associated with happy people at all.Spread happiness. ③__________The longitudinal analysis of data from the Framingham Heart Study has shown that our happiness is affected by those we are socially connected to. In this study, happiness spreads from one individual to their friends by up to three degrees of separation.Happy people are generous. Some researches suggest that far from being selfish, happy people are more likely to be generous and kind. The effect was also evident in third-grade schoolchildren. ④__________Self-care is not selfish. In Appreciative Health Care Practice, a guide to compassionate person-centered care, the authors explain that the concept ofself-caring is the opposite of selfishness. ⑤__________Once an individual has ensured his or her own self-care, he or she is more able to naturally extend care to others.

His father, Guillermo Class, had sold his car to buy plane tickets to get his kids and fly themup from Puerto Rico. The island was almost destroyed (毁坏) by the deadly storm -Hurricane Maria.Now, they are settling into their new home in Hartford' s South End. A week later, and, using his wife' s car, Class drove 16-year-old Joemar to his first day at Bulkeley High School. After a short ride, he got out in front of his new school. Inside, he met Gretchen Levitz - the school' s program director."I see you have a new uniform (校服)," Levitz said. "You look great. Are you ready for a good first day?"Then he met a couple of teachers"Hello," they each said in Spanish. They asked where he' s from, and told him they were happy to see him.

The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it’s only − 1 a day or − 29 a year! The bicycles are heavy ( 25 kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for shor t journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won’t use a bicycle —they’ll still use their cars.”A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme won’t solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.”.1.What can we learn about the Velib scheme?A.Its bikes have no baskets.B.Its bikes are light and colorful.C.It aims to make traveling easier.D.It owns more stations than the subway.2.If you use a Velib for 1 hour, you should pay _____.A.-1B.-30C.-29D.no money3.Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme?A.The cost is rather high.B.It's hard to find a Velib station.C.It's not suitable for a long journey.D.The distance between two Velib stations is long.4.What’s the city spokesman’s attitude towards the bicycle scheme?A.Positive.B.Doubtful.C.Uncaring.D.Worried.完形填空9、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThe temperature of your body should be always just the same, no matter whether the weather is hot or cold. That is why the doctor uses his thermometer （温度计）when your are sick.The body keeps the same temperature all the time ,because it balances the heat it produces and it gives off. It is always burning up food and , producing heat. It can produce heat faster when it needs to give off heat than when it becomes too warm. Let’s see how this happen.The heat of your body is given off mainly through the skin. When you are cold, your skin is tight and shows “good flesh”. When you get chilly, you must dance around to keep warm or else you will shiver. Then your muscles begin to work, burn up fuel, and produce more heat. It is not pleasant to shiver, so you usually prefer to warm up by exercise, or put on more clothes to keep heat in.When you are warm, the skin is loose and soft. It is so supplied with blood that heat is given off rapidly. If you get too warm, you begin to sweat ,and more body heat is used in evaporating the moisture（水蒸气） from your skin. You wear less clothing, too, in warm weather or warm room, so that warm can be given off freely. You feel less like exercising because your body is warm already, and the extra heat produced by exercise makes you uncomfortable.You can see from the way you feel differently in different kinds of weather. In summer, when it is warm, you feel tired and lazy. You do not care to work or play, but enjoy lying and doing nothing. When you get out of doors in winter, the cold air makes you feel lively. You want to play.1.Which is another title suitable of the passage?A．The Patients’ Temperature B．The Body Temperature Should Always Be the SameC．The Body Temperature D．The Temperature and Your Skin2.How does the body keep the same temperature all the time?A．It is always producing heat from food. B．It gives off the heat produced in it.C．It balances the heat it gets and loses. D．It stops producing heat when necessary.3.When one feels chilly, which of the following will he do?A．His skin becomes tight in order to keep warm.B．He does exercises to make his muscle produce more heat.C．He puts on more clothes to keep heat in.D．He keeps shivering to produce more heat.B“High tech” and “state of the art” are two expressions that describe very modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention or system that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering.What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite.A modern manufacturing (制造业的) system is surely high tech.High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980’s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens (微波炉), etc. “State of the art” is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest ways and technology. Something that is “state of the art” is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.“State of the art” is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years,to describe the best and most modern way of doing something.Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970’s. The reason was the computer revolution（革命）. Every computer company claimed (声称) that its computers were “state of the art”.Computer technology changes so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression “state of the art” has become as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art”.4.What is the purpose of the passage?A．To tell how “high tech” and “state of the art” have developed.B．To give examples of high tech.C．To tell what “high tech” and “state of the art” are.D．To describe very modern technology.5.What can we learn from the passage?A．American stores could provide new kinds of products to the people.B．“High tech” describes a technology that is not traditional.C．“State of the art” became popular later than “high tech”.D．A lantern out of a big orange pumpkin is “state of the art”.6.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．Since the computer revolution, the expression “state of the art” has become popular.B．“State of the art” means something that is the best one can buy.C．With the development of computer technology, a state of the art computer may easily become unpopular.D．All the producers claim that their products are “state of the art” nowadays.7.The best title for the passage is .A．Computer TechnologyB．High Tech and State of the ArtC．Most Advanced TechnologyD．Two New Expressions第二节完形填空（共20小题；每题1分，满分20分）阅读下面一篇短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

APlanning a cruise on a budget often involves searching for the best cruise deals and specials. While it's true that one of the best ways to save on cruises is to choose major lines' seasonal promotional offers, there are other ways to significantly reduce the cost of your trip. You might even be able to enjoy a cruise on as little as $100 a day.We consulted with Colleen McDaniel, senior executive editor of Cruise Critic, to get even more money-saving tips. Read on to discover how you can enjoy cruises for cheap. Purchase an all-inclusive packageAn easy way to rack up(增加) a high cruise bill is by taking advantage of every extra that a cruise line has to offer without knowing which extras are included in the package you've purchased. If you're worried about spending too much on activities, beverages, food and accommodations, book an all-inclusive package, which could help you save money in the long run.Seek unadvertised discountsThough they don't always advertise them, many cruise lines offer special prices for certain groups. Royal Caribbean, for example, extends special pricing on all cruises to airline employees.Call the cruise line to find out if it offers discounts for any groups, employers or organizations you are affiliated with, and you could save up to S100 or more a day on your booking.Use an app to track pricesIf you can be flexible with your travel dates, you might be able to get a great deal on a cruise by using an app like Cruise Critic. The app lets you monitor prices of upcoming cruises and informs you of any major changes on prices as the days go by. If the priceon your cruise drops after you've booked, you can contact the cruise line to negotiate the difference. The cruise line might refund you in the form of an onboard credit that you can use for cruise activities and other amenities during your trip.Look for local dealsMany cruise-goers extend their vacations by booking stays and planning activities in port cities before and after the cruise. If this is your plan, save money on dining and adventures by looking for local deals ahead of time.1. According to the passage, who might get unadvertised discounts of Royal Carribbean?A. Senior editors.B. Royal members.C. Airline employees.D. Local cruise-goers.2. The main purpose of the passage is to____.A. advertise a cruise appB. present the advantages of a cruiseC. inform people of what to do on a cruiseD. offer tips on saving money for a cruise trip3. The passage is most probably taken from a ______.A. sailing blogB. science journalC. travel brochureD. finance magazineBThe Power of a NameMy full name is Lily Myunghi M. When my parents gave me this name, they created an important part of my identity that will be part of me forever.My first name, Lily, was inspired by a story my mom heard a long time ago. Some people wanted to get rid of their tiger lilies, so they dug a deep, deep hole and threw the tiger lily plants in. For years, they felt they had succeeded in killing the lilies. But one spring, strong, green stocks rose to the surface. My mom named me Lily because she hoped for a beautiful daughter, who would also be strong and resilient, just like those orange blossomed lily plants.My middle name is Myunghi. My mom, who is of Korean heritage, wanted to honor our Asian roots. The middle name means "clear-eyed girl" in Korean. My parents chose it because they believe life is difficult, and they hoped being "clear-eyed" would help me find my way in the world.However, in English, Myunghi loses its beautiful meaning. It becomes the hesitation on people's faces as they stumble over its mere two syllables(音节). It becomes the surprised expressions of classmates who have never heard a name anything like it before It becomes a blushing(脸红的)little girl, embarrassed by her own name, a name that her parents put so much thought into.When I was younger, I hid my middle name, pre tending it didn't exist. Looking back, I pity the girl who was too ashamed to reveal her full name to anyone.My grandparents were raised in Korea, where parents take great care choosing a name with a meaning that will help their child through life. My grandparents were born into the Japanese Occupation of Korea and assigned Japanese names, which stripped(剥夺) away their cultural identities bit by bit.I've grown to love and appreciate my name. I no longer hide my name, but instead, proudly announce it, since my grandparents could not. I accept this special part of my identity that was chosen especially for me.My full name is Lily Myunghi M. It paints a magnificent picture of unconditional love, hope, and heritage coming together to form a girl. And that girl, is me.4. We can know from the story that tiger liliesA. are strong plantsB. are green stocksC. have white blossomsD. grow in deep holes5. Why did the author try to hide her middle name when she was younger?A.

But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional modes of transportation, such as the elderly and disabled, so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation.A retirement community in San Jose, Calif. , which has been transformed by a small fleet of driverless taxis, shows the potential of self-driving cars to transform people’s lives. Built by a tech start-up called Voyage, the modified Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road, but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomous vehicles, which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road, these residents—whose average age is 76—will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appointments. As these cars continue to serve residents there, it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.In Michigan, forward-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles, especially for those with physical disabilities. The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology, saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling, independent lives.Many recognize that autonomous vehicles will be the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who are forced to depend on others for day-to-day travel. The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and Michigan, and pass rules and regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.1.What’s the attitude of most American people to the future of autonomous vehicles?A.Curious.B.Doubtful.C.Indifferent.D.Optimistic.2.What is the modified Ford Fusion?A.A kind of autonomous vehicle.B.A fleet of driverless taxis.C.A road for driverless cars.D.A retirement community.3.What are examples in California and Michigan to prove?A.Driverless cars’ disadvantages.ernments’ right decisions.C.Benefits to the aged and the disabled.D.The regulations are forward-thinking.4.What does the author attempt to inform us in the last paragraph?A.The benefits of driverless cars have been fully unlocked.B.Regulations should go hand in hand with driverless technology.C.The concept of autonomous vehicles has been widely recognized.D.The weak groups are often overlooked despite technology advances.7、Since so much written language we see today comes from a glowing screen, language has begun to change through our interaction with technology. Social media and the Internet have had a rapid and great effect on the English language, and not necessarily for the better. More and more people have found themselves writing in pieces of words and using unclear acronyms(单词首字母) both in written and spoken language.How many times have you typed “LOL” in response to a humorous message? Referred to someone as your “BFF”? Exclaimed, “OMG!” d uring a particularly shocking event? Social media has affected the words we use in our everyday life. Abbreviations and acronyms commonly known as “text talk” have made their way into both spoken and written language. These are becoming increasingly popular as people struggle for brief expressions to meet word limits on social media like Weibo and Twitter. In addition, the speed of the Internet means language is changing faster than ever. You no longer have to be published through physical and traditional means to bring word trends to public attention.Many people believe the overuse of these new terms is a passing trend, and nobody will be using them in just a couple of decades. With the change of language, older terms will surely disappear and fall out of style, and newer and more Internet language will take their place.But the Oxford English Dictionary thinks the contrary. In 2011, a lot of Internet terms including, “LOL,” “BPB,” “OMD,” and “BFF” were added to the dictionary, making these acronyms official parts of the English language. According to the dictionary writers, these terms aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.The words you use in everyday life are a reflection of yourself; this is especially true on the Internet with the lack of interaction in real life. With the Internet and social media rapidly getting popular, soon your words may be all you have left. Make them good ones.1.Which is the best title for the passage?A.Social Media and the English LanguageB.The Use of New Internet LanguageC.The Internet and Social MediaD.The Change of the Internet and English2.What is one reason for people’s use of acronyms?A.The decrease of physical and traditional booksB.People’s need for quick response to different messagesC.The lack of peopl e’s interaction with technologiesD.People’s need to meet word limits on social media3.The “new terms” are considered to be part of a passing trend because_________ .A.they are not published in a traditional wayB.they are not used as formal languageC.t hey’ll be replaced by even newer onesD.they are not supported by dictionary writers4.The writer of the passage thinks that Internet languages ________.A.have positive influenceB.should be properly usedC.are getting more popularD.are useless for interaction完形填空8、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A, B, C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The stranding of 198 whales on Friday was one of the largest in recent years and inspired 80 workers and volunteers to help out.By late Saturday, 140 of the whales had died, said Department of Conservation area manager Andrew Lamason.He said the workers and volunteers worked throughout the day to keep the surviving whales watered and covered before refloating them during Saturday night’s high tide.“We’ve had a really good crew of volunteers, and people have been wanting to come from all over the country,” Lamason said.He said the surviving whales had moved to deeper water. But he cautioned that although hopes for their survival were high, whales had been refloated in the past only to return and get stranded again.Lamason said the scale(规模) of the stranding has been tough on the helpers, both physically and mentally.“It’s very sad, they’re very intelligent animals,” he said. “The common view is that it’s part of nature.”The focus will now turn to the dead whales, and the enormous task of dealing with the remains, Lamason said, adding that in the past helpers have typically buried them in the sand, but that he’s not sure what the approach will be this time.He said the department had been experimenting with moving the the dead whales into the water, which has the advantage of providing food for other sea creatures.1.What is the exact number of whales stranded last Friday.A.198.B.140.C.80.D.60.2.Why did the volunteers have to wait until Saturday before they could refloat the whales .A.Because they were very busy on Friday.B.Because the whales were too intelligent.C.Because they had to wait for the sea water to rise.D.Because the whales were buried deep in the sand.3.Which of the following words can be used to describe Lamason’s attitude towards the result of refloating the whales .A.Optimistic.B.Doubtful.C.Positive.D.Careless.4.How will the volunteers deal with the dead whales this time according to Lamason ?A.They will bury them in the sand.B.They do not have any exact idea yet.C.They will throw them into the ocean.D.They will feed them to other sea creatures.三、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

They should be able to fix it within a few hours, they say. But for now, the power is out.When I was a boy, a power cut was an adventure. We’d light candles and eat ice cream, based on theassumption that without power to run the freezer it was going to melt anyway. My dad always used power cuts as an opportunity to talk about the good old days when he did his homework by fireplace light.These days a power cut is more annoyance than adventure. There isn’t a lot we can’t do thanks to modem technology. No lights? No problem—my cell phone has a flashlight app. In the middle of watching a good movie? You can probably pick up where you left off through that movie service you have downloaded on your tablet. Can't cook? Use vour cell phone to get a pizza delivered. A nice slice of warm pizza will go perfectly with all that ice cream you have to eat.Of course, technology can only take you so far in a real crisis. Honestly,we’d be in pretty rough shape if this power cut went on for several days. And if it were the middle of a cold winter,I don’t have any way to provide heat.I have three flashlights,but since I don’t have any batteries for those flashlights I don’t think that counts.Thankfully, the power is going to be restored to us soon. I’m grateful for this little reminder of the significance of the Boy Scout axiom : be prepared. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up some candles to go with all those matches, and some batteries to go in those flashlights. What about you? Is there something you can do on this bright, sunny day today to prepare yourself and your family for the dark, unpleasant possibilities of tomorrow?1.Why was there a power cut in the authors area?A.Electricians got hurt in the truck accident.B.A power pole might be knocked down.C.The power company was checking the line.D.The residents carried out routine repair.2.By mentioning his childhood life, the author aims to show that _____.A.a power cut used to be an adventureB.he enjoyed ice cream at an early ageC.his father was fond of telling storiesD.his father took advantage of the power cut3.How does the author find the power cut at present?A.It is adventurous but beneficial.B.It frequently happens but interesting.C.It is kind of annoying but affects life little.D.It rarely occurs though theoretically possible.4.What does the author really want to say in Paragraph 4?A.The present power cut went on for several days.B.Cold winter added trouble to the present power cut.C.People are usually in a rough situation during a power cut.D.A power cut can bring us disadvantages at times.5.What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A.Be prepared for a rainy day.B.One false step will make a great difference.C.Don’t empty the water jar until the rain falls.D.Human fortunes are as unpredictable as weather.完形填空8、 Ivonette Balthazar is a 67-year-old grandmother.

I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words,“a brilliantly (精彩地)written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s“Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984.I think it’s really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to“impress”someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in–depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean:I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).1.How did the author find his friend a book liar?A.By judging his manner of speaking.B.By looking into his background.C.By mentioning a famous name.D.By discussing the book itself.2.Which of the following is a“guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?A.Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.B.42% of people pretended to have read 1984.C.The author admitted having read 9 books.D.Dreams From My Father is hardly read.3.By lying about reading, a person hopes to .A.control the conversationB.appear knowledgeableC.learn about the bookD.make more friends4.What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers?A.Favorable.B.UncaringC.DoubtfulD.Friendly七选五8、 It was August 2, 1927. The news had spread fast. A man named Ralph Peer was coming to the city of Bristol. He wanted to make recordings of local people singing and playing musical instruments. ①__________That was a lot of money in those days.Many people came to Bristol that day to play for Mr. Peer. But one group seemed to have just the sound that he was looking for. They were a man named A. P. Carter, his wife, Sara, and her cousin, Maybelle. ②__________Sara sang lead, the loudest and highest notes. A. P. sang bass, the lowest notes. Maybelle sang harmony, somewhere in between. She also played the guitar in a new and unusual way. ③__________She played the main part of the songs on the lowest guitar strings. And then she quickly strummed by playing all the strings at once. This kind of playing became known as the“Carter Scratch”.④__________ They did not sound like they had taken music lessons. But it did not matter. The people in poor rural areas thought they sounded just like their neighbors, or the people who sang in their churches.⑤__________ They recorded more songs. They traveled to many cities and towns in the eastern United States to perform. Thousands of people heard them sing and bought their recordings. Some people estimate that within three years, the Carter Family sold three hundred thousand recordings.A. The Carter Family sounded different.B. The Carter Family soon became famous.C. They called themselves the Carter Family.D. The Carter Family wanted to have a try.E. No matter where they went, they were well received.F.

2018-2019学年高二英语寒假作业检测试题一、阅读理解AIn Chinese customs, red is the main color for weddings. It is u sed in different ways as it signifies love, joy and happiness. T he bride’s wedding gown（女礼服）is often red, the wedding invitations, gift boxes and envelopes are red and the bride and the groom’s homes are decorated i n red on the wedding day.Before the wedding, the married couples from the groom’s fa mily visit the bride’s place with gifts in red baskets and boxes. One of those baskets has milk honey. Three days before the wedding, the women from the bride’s family bring return-gifts to the groom’s family.On the wedding day, the groom arrives at the bride’s place on his way to the chapel（佛堂）. The groom has to give gifts in cash wrapped in red pape r to the br ide’s friends for letting her go. The bride and the gro om then leave for the chapel together.The wedding ceremony is attended only by the couple’s imme diate relatives. Just after the wedding ceremony, the bride serves tea to her parents in-laws as a tradition. The couples will then go to get wedding pi ctures. Then a reception（宴会）will follow.In the reception, a welcome speech is followed by a cake cutti ng ceremony.

But what if you're a student and don't have enough money for a trip? Don't worry. Here are some useful suggestio ns.●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for tra velling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.●Plan ahead: Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving y ourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and savings.●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the pl aces you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provi de information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.●Plan sensibly: Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough m oney to cover everything.●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting t he same places. By travelling with others you can share costs and experiences.●Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Loo k for work in the places you visit.●Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser－known area.

Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginni ng of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading i t aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning al l at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice , on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teach er reading it or, best of all, reciting it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem a loud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t ti me for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is t o have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening of lief”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the tea ching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to communicate t his to anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few thins about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroo m for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.8.To have a better understanding of a poem, one should ____ __.analyze it by oneself B. discuss it with othersC. practise reading it aloudD. copy it down in a notebook9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of p oetry?A. Extending your lifeB. Saving your lifeC. Criticizing lifeD. Heightening life10.

Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature cours es.D. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poe try.11. The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by______.A. provide equipmentB. build a schoolC. set up a houseD. leave a certain amount of timeDVinegar makes salad,fries and dumplings taste better, and yo u can even use it to clean your windows. And now, according to scientists, it may even the planet’s population survive climate change.Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resourc e Science (CSRS) in Japan found that growing plants in vineg ar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean t hat in the future, worries about climate change affecting the w orld’s supply of food will be much lower. The discovery was m ade after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It w as found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate（醋酸盐）—the main component of vinegar.After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by a dding acetate to the soil of other plants, before they stopped g iving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14 da ys, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived , while the untreated plants had dried up and died.It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be u sed to help farmers in dry countries keep their crops alive. "In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize—and the basic plant of breeding species, rapeseed（油菜籽）," Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told Popular Science magazine.Kim also told the magazine he’s already been in touch with pe ople all over the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from flower growing com panies to amateur gardeners. Although at this point keeping t hirsty plants alive isn’t as easy as just pouring vinegar over th em, Kim said he and his team are working on making the proc ess as simple as possible. "Now we are trying to cooperate wi th some farmers, and also some companies, to make a metho d to apply this system, "he said. And for those of us who alwa ys forget to ask our neighbors to water our plants when we go away, hopefully this means the end of returning home from a trip to find our favorite flowers have died.What is the article mainly about? .A. The world’s food supply will be increased.B. Plants better survive droughts.C. The Arabidopsis is resistant to droughts.D. Vinegar could be used to fight droughts.13. It was discovered that acetate can .A. be used by farmers to replace soilB. only be produced b y the ArabidopsisC. help plants survive dry conditionsD. be used to improve poor soil14. What are the target plants of the experiment?A. all breeding species.B. wheat and Arabi dopisis.C. rice and maize.D. rapeseed and Ar abidopisis.15.

We tried to walk across the Unite d States of America. We're not exactly sure 41 we were do ing it. Part of it was to test ourselves; to see if we could face t he challenges. When I was 42 teenager I often daydreame d that I was going to walk across the United States 43 I gr aduated from high school. 44 ，I didn't do that. Before I knew it I was in my thirties, married,45 (have) a job, yet still had this idea in my mind with each46 (pass) year. I figured I was too old and my opportunity had passed. Then, a few years ago，I met Tony, 47 was in his thirties and quit his job as a civil engineer in New York City to walk across the United States. H e wasn't doing it for a cause 48 as part of an organization. He was doing it 49 （simple) because he loved to walk and discover. The idea was back and I no longer had an excuse. We planned on averaging 20 miles a day and taking some days off to rest, so we expected the walk to take about 6 months realizing it could take 50 (long). We were in no hurry: The total distance would have been about 3,100 miles.五、短文改错As the saying goes, chances favored the prepared mind. I lea rned this from one of my experience.I was not chosen as member of the volleyball team of our sch ool. Because of this, I decided to give up play volleyball. Lucki ly, my best friend stopped me but pointed out that it was my la ziness and poor preparation which led to my failure. After that, I practiced playing volleyball on every day. When another try out arrived, I was full prepared and tried my best. As a result, I was selected and became an important player on our school team.From this, I am firmly convincing that, no matter when chance s arrive, we were able to seize them as long as we get well pr epared.高二寒假作业检测考试试题（英语）参考答案一、阅读理解：1-4 ACDC 5-7 ACA 8-11 CABD 12-15 DCCD二、七选五：16-20 EBGCD三、完形填空21-25 CADBD 26-30 ABACD 31-35 ABDCB 36-40 ADDC四、语法填空 41. why 42. a 43. after 44.
